Make a holiday rental home or villa in Bettona, Italy your home away from home

Bettona is a quaint hill town and a popular base for those visiting the province of Perugia. The town has ancient Etruscan origins that date back prior to the 8th century, and is relatively small in size - meaning it does not become overrun with tourists in the summer. Bettona is a great destination for a relaxing break, and can be used as a peaceful base for visiting the nearby town of Assisi, the artistic centre of Perugia and many more fascinating destinations.

Things to do in Bettona, Italy

A tightly winding road takes you up to Bettona, weaving its way through olive groves and providing you with a realization that you are in the ‘real’ Italy, far away from the tourist masses. Due to its elevated position views from the centre of Bettona are excellent, and on a clear day it is possible to see Perugia, Assisi, Trevi and beyond. Seeing so much unspoilt countryside is likely to make you want to head out and explore, and there are many hiking and walking trials to be enjoyed in the close area.

The church of Santa Maria Maggiore is one of the most impressive structures in the old town, with the art collection in the Palazzeto del Podesta (Palace of the Podesta) also worth a look. The circumference of the town walls make for an interesting walk, with a number of old town gates, fountains and churches to be discovered along the way. Why not take a picnic and make a day of it?

Of course many people head to this part of Italy simply to relax and unwind, and a villa in Bettona is a great place to do this. A recommendation is to stock up on food and drink supplies during the very first day of your vacation, as it will allow you to spend the remainder of your time enjoying the sunshine and peace and quiet.

A very attractive farmhouse which is well equipped and has gorgeous views across the valley to the nearby pretty village of Bettona. The air conditioning in the living room and the bedroom were essential in the 35 degree temperatures. The owners Patrizia and Paolo are charming and very helpful. A wonderful stay and one we shall remember for a very long time.

What to say! The views are simply breath taking, the pool is as impressive as it looks in the pictures, if you are looking for somewhere to get away from it all - this is the place to come! We stayed in the Pig House for two weeks, it was comfortable, modern, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The towels and bed linen were changed half way through our stay which was great! The owners, Simon and Michaela were at their property for part of our stay and they could not have been more welcoming and friendly, even booked us into their favourite local restaurant to ensure we got a table on a busy Friday night! Corado who is the local property manager was also incredibly friendly and helpful. There's so much to do and see in the surrounding area - you'll definitely need a car. There's not a huge amount of restaurant choice in Bettona so we tended to eat a main meal at lunchtime when we went out sight seeing and then made light snacks at the villa in the evening. There's a local supermarket that has the basics - if you want a bit more choice head for Perugia where there is a large supermarket! We ate at the hotel in Bettona a couple of times which is a 10 minute (quite hilly walk!) Take mosquito repellent in the summer months - we did get bitten a fair bit, apparently you can get wrist bands in boots that work really well! We loved Spoletto, Perugia and Assisi, so many beautiful places to visit. There's quite a few steps up a steep hill to get to the pool area so not great for buggies or anyone who struggles with climbing stairs - worked fine for us as kept us fit and our 4 and 8 year olds raced each other up and down! All in all, a fantastic holiday and will definitely be heading back to Italy - the children are determined to go back to the Pig House next year!
